Kuala Lumpur: More than one million people had registered for the central database hub (Padu) as of this morning, eight days after the system was launched and made accessible to the public.
Economy minister Rafizi Ramli, in a post on X, said the figure includes children under 18 years old.
“All of the government’s machinery has been deployed to ensure that we minimise the risk of being left out in the implementation of targeted subsidies through Padu registration.
“Let’s maintain this momentum to shift towards targeted assistance,” he said, urging those who have not registered to do so via
http://padu.gov.my.
He also appealed to the public to help those who are not tech-savvy to register, including parents, family members, and neighbours.
Padu registration is open to the public from Jan 2 to March 31, and users can update and verify 30 personal details, including ID card numbers, household numbers, and residential addresses.
The initiative aims to improve the efficiency of policy planning and resource distribution, especially the distribution of targeted government subsidies and assistance to those who deserve it.
